'Gee! I Like This!’

When Charles or Catherine tastes a dessert and remarks “Gee! I like this!” you feel much better than when you hear “I don’t want any!” — even though you may not approve of the slang. It’s very difficult to induce some children to drink milk. Tell them it is Nature’s most nearly perfect food, and you are merely wasting words and time. But fix up your milk as a pudding or rennet-custard and a victory is yours—for children cannot resist desserts. Here’s a relatively inexpensive dessert that will provide plenty of milk and other nourishing foods. No eggs, no baking, or no boiling. An adult dish as well as one for the children. Just the thing for an after-school dinner or a before-bed bite: Banana Royal 1 package orange rennet powder 4 pieces sponge cake (leftover cake may be used) 1 pint milk, ordinary or homogenized 1 banana Place the pieces of cake (about two inches square or smaller) in the bottom of the dessert dishes. Make rennet-custards according to directions on package, and pour immediately over pieces of cake. Do not move until firm — about 10 minutes. Chill in refrigerator. When ready to serve, put slices of banana on top of each rennetcustard.

COLLEGE OPENS FOR AMERICANS IN MEXICO CITY School, In 53rd Year, Marks Growth Front Kindergarten i Mexico City — The American School in Mexico City, now in its 53rd year, has advanced from a kindergarten to a college. The advanced study was added this month. The Mexico City college is headed by H. L. Cain, a Louisiana educator who hasn’t lost his soft drawl in this land of trilled “r’S” and machine gun fire of words. Principal of the high school is Paul V. Murray, from Chicago’s West Side. Cain is the director and Murray the dean. A big part of the college’s faculty has been recruited from among European refugee professors in Mexico City, representing some of the best universities in the world. In the language department is Virginia Banos, B. A., M. A„ Texas University; Johns Hopkins; PhD., Radcliffe College, Harvard University. One of her colleagues is Alice Ruble Gerstel, B. A., Stoats-Oberrealgymnasium, Teschen, Czechoslovia; Graduate work. University of Prague; Ph.D., University of Munich. In history is Enelda Gehrke Fox, Ph.D., University of London. Specializes in Spanish The college will specialize in Spanish language and Latin American history, although regular university courses will be offered in other fields. A feather in the college’s hat was a request by the Texas State school committee to assist Miss Thalie Clark, one of their members, in planning Spanish study for the primary grades in Texas. A recent Texas law made Spanish compulsory in those grades. * The college term will continue from July to June, with vacation between semesters during November and December, reversing North American procedure. The American School, which now' has an enrollment of 1,000 and a large building valued in six figures, posseses a history of which the American colony in Mexico City is proud. Until 1939 it was the only American school on foreign soil which was accredited by American colleges. o— OHIO FLIER TELLS HOW LUFTAFFE WAS EXPANDED

Columbus, O.—A Columbus man, ■who says he hates Hitler, admits he was one of the three men in Germany who trained 6,000 pilots for the Luftv r affe—although without knowing it. Alfred Lussheim, who is now' a naturalized citizen, says he helped organize the Storm Bird (Sturmvogel) gliding organization, w'hich at one time had 10,000 members, 300 gliding planes and 28 airplanes. It trained young German workers to fly. When the Nazis came to power, Lussheim says, the Storm Bird groups were disbanded, but the young men they had trained became pilots in the Luftwaffe. o Philadelphia—If there w^s any feeling of excessive pride among 30 men waiting to enlist at the army Recruiting Station here, it must have shriveled away when "William Chester walked in to sign up. Chester, chauffeur for Brig. Geu. William 'McCain, enlisted tor his ninth term.

BOXCARS WILL TOUR INDIANA

Annual Legion Roundup Will be Conducted Sunday The American Legion in this community has been asked by W. Carl Graham, of Fort Wayne, department commander, to join in the Forty and Eight boxcar roundup of Legion membership cards during this week. The 40-8 boxcars, colorful replicas of the French railroad rolling stock of the first World War A.E.F., will roll over Indiana highways from the Great Lakes to the Ohio river and east and west to collect American Legion membership cards on next Sunday, Oct-

ober 19.

Legionnaires and voyageurs, of 40-8, the play and honor society of the Legion, will be busy all this week collecting cards in this section of the country which will be turned ’over to the roundup captains. Brooks McCombs, of Anderaon, retiring state head of the Forty and Eight is the Legion membership chairman in general

charge.

Wayne Lowe, a school teacher, of Terre Haute in the new grand chef de gare of the Forty and Eight and has called for cooperation in this roundup o f Legion members. George Huish, a newspaper publisher, of East Chicago, is in immediate charge of the annual box car roundup of Legion members. The American Legion, following its patriotic and vigorous Milwaukee, Wisconsin, national convention action, has been deluged with early 1942 membership enrollments. The American Legion monthly magazine circulation total shows that the national Legion is running 45,000 members ahead of the same date last year. The Indiana Legion pledged to have 13701 cards in the hands of national in the telegraphic roll call preview and Department Commander Graham delivered a total of 14,212 cards to oversubscribe his pledge. The national Legion closed its books for the fiscal year with a total enrollment of 1,100,000 members. It looks like the Legion is going to have a record enrollment this year, State Commander Graham said. UNUSUALDOGS TRAIL COUGARS

Albuquerque, N. M.—Training a lion is a fui|-sized job, but training a Hon dog is no cinch itself, says Homer Pickens, New Mexico game warden recognized as an expert in this field. A lion dog is a dog trained to aid men in hunting mountain lions. Pickens currently is beginning another long training routine with a pup of Sue II, which he says is “the best lion dog in the country.” A lion dog, according to Pickens, is a study in contradictions. They’re Fierce and Gentle “The best type is both fierce and gentle,” Pickens asserts. “Sue II has participated in 30 kills. She isn’t afraid of anything alive. But on the other hand when not hunting she is so sweet tempered I let my young children have her for a pet.” Here is Pickens’ lion dog training routine: ’ “Training the young dog is hard, you’ve got to know him first. After the dog is matured, the best thing 'to do is to let him run with an old one, who will show him the tricks. Then you have to get him over the idea of following a deer trail. That’s the first thing they want to do—run deer. “The best lion dog is a combination of bloodhound, red bone, and black and tan hounds. You don’t want too fast a dog—-that’s why you want a bloodhound strain— and you want a dog that can follow a cold trail—that’s the hound strain.” Skirt Mountain Ridges On a lion hunt, the dog pack is permitted to run along ridges to pick up the trail and then follow it. “The dogs always go wild when they see a lion,” Pickens says. “They rush for it and the lion usually climbs to the top of a tree.” The hunters, not the dogs, make the kill. A good lion dog, says Pickens, edsts around $290, and he adds that “there aren’t many.” He hopes to train “a good one” from Sue Ills recent litter of 12 because the mother’s usefulness as a lion dog has been ended. She tangled with a bear and came out, second best, requiring several months to recover. o ROOKIE BUSY ON K. P. DRINKS 18 PINTS OF MILK

Fort Custer, Mich.—A Michigan farm rookie, assigned to kitchen police duty in a mess hall here, wondered if it wauld be all right if he drank one of the half-pint bottles of milk. The cook, who had been noticing him workirig pretty hard, said, “Sure. And if you want another one later, take it.” When they caught up to him he had put away 36 half pints. He told his K. P. buddies he was accustom ed to drinking more than that at home. o The smoke of a great forest fire near Duluth, Minn., was traced as far as • Texas after three days.

State Apportions Intangibles Tax Indianapolis, Oct. 17.*—Judson H. West, director of the intangible tax division of the State Tax Board, has announced the distribution by counties of the tax collected from the period Feb. 1 to July 31. A total of $683,598.68 is being distributed, with Marion county receiving $118,603.01. The state general fund received 10 per cent of the collections and 75 per cent of the remainder goes to school, units while 25 per cent is sent to the general funds of Indiana’s 92 counties. HOUSING RUSHED AT PLANE PLANT

Baltimore, Md.—Nearly 1,200 national defense workers at the Glenn L. Martin Co., where hundreds of millions of dollars worth of fighting planes are being made, have been established in living quarters located within easy walking distance of the huge plant which employs more than 25,000

persons.

These housing communities fall into three entirely different categories as to type of construction. First, is a village of 300 prefabricated permanent homes, that rent from $30 to $35 a month. Construction of the project, officially known as Stansbury Estates, mushroomed sc rapidly that few persons were aware of its inception until announcement was made that the home were ready for occupancy. Ground was broken May 25 and houses occupied Aug. 15. Another group of 300 homes of this type has been started near the plant and will be occupied in midOctober. This village is to be known as Aero Acres and is being built near a four-lane highway leading to the Martin factory. Second, a group of five T-shaped one-story wooden dormitories, somewhat similar to army barracks, was erected by the Farm Security Administration to provide sleeping recreational and sanitary facilities for 300 bachelor workers. Authorities have tried to arrange it so occupants of each dormitory would be workers who are employed on the same shift so that there may be the least possible disturbance of their rest periods'. Adjacent to the dormitories is a community of 200 trailers provided by the Farm Security Administration for additional workers and their families. Each trailer houses a family or group of four people. Five thousand square-foot lots provide plenty of room for trailer families and wooded areas and waterfronts nearby offer recreational facilities. Wooden buildings erected at pre-determined intervals contain washing, bathing and sanitary facilities. o Women Extend Kudos to Man In House Work Patch Grove, Wis. — Charles Tornowske has been putting Patch Grove housewives to shame for the past four years. He has the reputation of turning out “the whitest wash in town,” makes cakes which are a delight to the best of home cooks, and is the king-pin at all local fish fries. Tornowske quit his job as a painter when his mother died four years ago, and went to work as housekeeper for his father and

brother.

When his ability at a wood-burn-ing cook stove first was noised about, a women’s church group asked him to contribute a cake to a church supper. It never reached the supper tables. Women workers “sampled” the cake to the last crumb. Another contribution by him met a similar fate. Housewives are envious of Tornowske’s snow white washing. His secret is a cistern of soft rain water instead of the usual hard water of this community, plus thorough boiling of the clothes from the washing machine. Tornowske’s washing always is on the line ahead of his feminine competitiors. He starts work on it after the chores are done Sunday night and hangs it out about 3 a. m. Monday. o Beer in Army Camps

Be^r in army camps is not new. George Washington begged congress to send him beer at Valley Forge, not only as an aid to morale, but as an aid to diet. General Pershing’s orders specifically exempted beer and light wine from his prohibtion of liquor drinking by his soldiers of the AEF. The brewing industry, in many parts of the United States where army camps are located, is cooperating wholeheartedly with the United Brewers Industrial Foundation in its voluntary program to encourage and maintain proper conditions in licensed outlets in the vicinity of the camps. Inside the camps, where beer is served in the canteens and post exchanges, the army is in complete command, and the testimony of eommanding officers, chaplains an<J civic leaders who have had the experience of first-hand observation is that beer has been a real aid to the morale and the temperate conduct of the fine young men who wear our nation’s uniform with honor. These are true facts and they will remain true facts, no matter how cunningly attempt may be made to distort them-

UNCOLN PARK IS STATE SHRINE

Great American Spent Most Important Years In Indiana

GARY YOUTH IS RANKING CADET

Fifth Corps Area Has High Type Recruits At Present

A trip to Lincoln State Park and Nancy Hanks Lincoln Memorial is suggested. Abraham Lincoln lived there during the formative period of his life, from seven to twentyone. The park is in Spencer County and the memorial area of 1,166 acres, includes a portion of the Thomas Lincoln farm. On a hill is the site of the Lincoln cabin and on another elevation is the grave of his mother, Nancy Hanks Lin-

coln.

In 1816, Thomas Lincoln sold his Kentucky farm for twenty dollars in cash and ten barrels of rye whiskey and went on a prospecting tour in Indiana to locate. After finding a suitable location ip Spencer County, he walked back to his Kentucky home and prepared to move. The preparations were simple. Two horses carried the children, Sarah and Abraham, and the household goods. The father and mother walked. At the Ohio River the horses were returned and on the Indiana side of the river a wagon was hired to finish the journey. Fall had set in and the forest trees were leafless. The home site was desolate and three miles from the nearest neighbor. “Varmints” such as wildcats and raccoons invested the neighborhood. Here Thomas Lincoln erected a hut, fourteen feet square, and having but three sides. On the open side a log fire blazed for heat and cooking. Dry forest leaves on the ground served as beds. They lived in this hut all through the winter and the next year a bigger and better home was built. It was a log cabin 1 having no windows and no door. A hole for egress and ingress was left in the structure, over which hung an untanned deer’s hide to defend the inmates from the assaults of the weather. A stick-and-mnd chimney carried out the smoke from the fireplace. Lincoln’s m*ther died here in 1818 and his father soon married a widowed acquaintance, Sallie Johnson. Mrs. Johnson had two girls and a boy. The second marriage was very fortunate and Abraham Lincoln was devoted to his step-mother. On the Lincoln homestead, besides the grave of his mother, are the graves of his sister and broth-er-in-law, Aaron and Sarah Grisby. Thousands of visitors enjoy th2 foot trails and recreational facilities of Lincoln State Park. An artificial lake has been created to provide opportunities for fishing and boating. Below the dam are a series of fish hatchery ponds. The park has attractive picnic areas with shelter houses, outdoor, ovens, tables and benches and convenient supplies of pure water. One of the popular attractions of the park is a playground for chil-

dren.

NEWS CONTROL VICIOUS THREAT

Monopoly of Radio and Newspapers Would be Dangerous Startling facts of how publishers have established a monopolistic power over both neswpapers and radio stations in many cities are being brought to light as hearings conducted by the Federal Communications Commission. For obvious reasons, the sensational disclosures are not being reported by many daily papers. One of the greatest perils to na tiotial welfare has been the rapid trend in recent, years toward “onepaper” towns. Rival papers have been gobbled up, or forced to fold up, having such cities at the mercy of a single publisher. Now the same abuse is extending to the radio, testimony before the commission disclosed. Newspapers control at least one-third of all broadcasting outlets, and more than 100 cities have only one daily newspaper and one station, both owned by the same interests. “Frightening” Threat Witnesses called this concentration of control a serious threat to freedom of the press and the ra dio, and declared the prospect of such a growing stranglehold is a “frightening” one for the nation. Principal testimony on the. trend to monopoly in the newspaper industry came from Professor Alfred McClung Lee of the New York University School of Commerce and Finance and author of many books oh journalism. He pointed out that last year there were only 181 cities left in this country where competing newspapers existed. Actually, however in about half these communities the competition was mere shadow-boxing, he said. “That means in less than 109 cities does there exist any real competition, assuring the kind of freedom of the press which our Founding Fathers wanted to achieve in the first amendment to the Constitution,” Lee said. First Hated, Then Embraced When radio broadcasting came upon the scene in the ’20’s, newspapers looked upon it as a challenge to their monopoly and tried to stifle it, testimony at the hear ings showed. Together with press associa tions, they combined to choke off news broadcasts and in other ways sought to shackle radio’s growth. However, they lost the fight, and then decided upon the strategy that “if you can’t lick ’em, join ’em.” —o— ELEVEN BROTHERS IN ARMY
